Mistress Ohm
Synopsis
The heroine known as "Mistress Ohm" started out as a stage performer in various adult clubs up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Using chainmail mesh bodysuits and cages along with Van Degraff generators and Tesla Coils, she would "torment" fellow performers with arcs of lightning, set to various electropunk, synthwave, and Hi-NRG techno tracks.
At some point, during an 'extended tour' of Paragon, Beatrice McAllister was waylaid by the Carnival of Shadows, the 'villain group' headed by sybarite and terrorist Vanessa DeVore. Altho' Ms. McAllister avoided becoming yet another thrall to the Carnival, somehow her stage act was brought to life as the magical ability to control electric currents. Her stage act no longer a viable source of income, Ms. McAllister registered with the FSBA as a Hero, using her stage name "Mistress Ohm".
While there is considerable speculation that even now she is some kind of pawn of DeVore (along with the usual salacious gossip about her past), Mistress Ohm has maintained a strictly heroic ethos, only using lethal force against mechanical or supernatural targets, along with superpowered villains that simply would not 'go down' normally. Socially she does not date, or mingle, keeping her private life private and clear of the paparazzi.
Powers
Mistress Ohm, as the name implies, can project electrical arcs over short to medium distances, and control electrical fields in close proximity. She also can 'charge' her body such that melee strikes deliver a massive shock on impact.
